Hey, everybody!
Sorry for the late update, the world outside our garden keeps getting in the way. Ain’t that just how it goes.
The remaining girls (we culled the runt) all seem to be responding to the supercropping very well, as late as it was.
Here’s the whole mess from the front at 35 days flowering.
We’ve been seeing some pretty heavy downward pH swings, but based on what we’ve seen so far, that doesn’t seem too far out of the norm at this stage. As of the feeding a day or so ago, we’ve begun weening back on nutes, though we’re staying where we’ve been with our additives (Inoculant, silicate, and CalMag.) We’ve backed down from an EC of about 2.7 to almost 2 exactly, following General Hydroponics “aggressive” feed schedule, as it says on the tin. We settled on that method for feeding after last run, where we based our calculations on some inaccurate advice and estimates, and had been feeding at about twice what we are now. Those plants managed to turn out anyway, but these seem much happier for a lower, but more consistant feed. In our first run, we typically gave the girls a cool-down flush and let them have just tap water for a day after draining and refilling. We are not doing that this round, and are feeding at the same time as we drain and refill, once a week.
Some canopy shots of the too-tall-current run:
Although we still saw some last desperate stretches after the cull and supercropping, and there are some buds a bit closer to the light than we’d like, over all, we seem to have made a recovery, and the mid-canopy is exploding in response these last two weeks or so.
Here are some of those budsites.
Both cultivars have heavily fruity sweet overtones, the ones in back have light, cleaner-chem undertones that have us very excited to see what we come out with.
Thanks again to all for being so welcoming, helping drum up confidence, and recommending we supercrop. Hope everyone’s runs are doing great, and y’all are having a good week.
Stay up!
